Top 100 law firms boosted revenues by 4 per cent on average during the quarter
to 31 July but performance varied wildly across the sector, according to the
latest edition of Deloitte’s legal sector survey.

The advisory firm said that one sixth of firms grew revenues above 12 per
cent, but their success contrasted with a decline of 4 per cent or more
suffered by another sixth of the firms.

The biggest international firms benefited from buoyant overseas markets and
the weakness of sterling to improve their revenues the most, Deloitte said.
